πŸŽ™οΈπŸ’₯ Imagine your podcast as a rock concert, and every episode is a hit single with its own fanbase. Now, what if I told you that each of those singles could have its own cover bands, tribute acts, and fan-made music videos? That's the power of "Shattering" your podcast content!

When you Shatter your podcast, you're not just breaking glass; you're crafting a mosaic. Each piece, whether it's a quote, a clip, or a graphic, carries the essence of your show into new arenas. By repurposing your content, you're not only growing your audience, but also cementing your status as a thought leader and influencer in your niche. Your podcast becomes more than a showβ€”it becomes a cornerstone of your personal brand.

And here's the kicker: every time someone encounters a piece of your Shattered content, it's like they've found a breadcrumb leading them back to your podcast.

The power of Shatter Content is that the more they see your content, the more they value your message. So next time you grab that mic and hit record, don't just think audio, capture the visual start Shattering.

Your audience is waiting in places you haven't even spoken yet. πŸŒπŸ”Š

I Made An Exception! πŸ˜‚

Anyone who's followed me for a while knows how much I'm all about getting the most authenticity out of people when they present to camera.

This is a much harder task than it sounds and it's why I'm there to hold their hand and walk them through it.

A couple of days ago however I had the pleasure of teaming up again with Dawn McGruer to create some MASSIVE value! πŸ”₯

Now I can't really say much about what was shot as its too secret and her community would be right to be excited!

However what I will say is on this occasion I made an exception for scripting and autocue.

A common myth is that a script is an easy option for content newbies, how hard can it be to read right? For most surprisingly harder than you may think.

Remember, authenticity is key. So it's not enough to just read. You still need your mannerisms, body language, facial expressions, energy to go along with it. You can't just read whilst being dead behind the eyes! πŸ‘€

Lucky for me Dawn is practically a seasoned pro and having worked with her multiple times in the past I had absolute confidence in her nailing it and she absolutely did!

Due to the nature of the content (top secret can't say! 🀫) it had to be well structured and formatted, hense the mostly scripted approach.

We managed to smash out over 40 pieces of content that I'm excited to get moving on!

This is what I love doing, making mass content, made easy!

We DON'T have an Attention Problem!

It's often said people's attention is getting shorter and shorter. I don't think this is necessarily the case.

Attention is there for long form content, you can see that by the ever growing statistics of viewer retention on YouTube and Podcasts etc, so what exactly is happening?

I don't believe it's a lack of attention, it's an abundance of choice.

We've never been in a time where choice in every aspect of life is so readily available and that includes content.

So your competition is high, the viewers are (rightly so) selfish and you have less time to prove your worth before they move on to someone they perceive as more worth their time.

It's why having a hook is important to grab people's attention, offering value, tactical, practical value will help them stick with you.

Over time you will build an audience base of advocacy and you can move them through your content funnel, into your marketing funnel, leaving you with a high quality lead to convert!

Give yourself freedom! πŸŽ₯

If you've tried to sit down and talk to camera and you're finding it particularly difficult, the reason may actually be in that sentence.

SITTING in front of camera might be a little more challenging than it seems.

By sitting in front of camera you're taking away a bodily function, you're opening up more space in your head to overthink. This can often lead to a subconscious feeling of constriction, preventing you from using hand gestures and body language, possibly giving you a stiff/robotic performance.

Often when I spot this in a client, the first thing we do is adjust the shot. Stand them up, give them freedom to stand, move and gesture. Not just give them the freedom, but encourage it.

By standing up we re-engage the brain, it's now got more things to deal with whether just standing or walking and talking, reducing some of that over thinking.

My clients have often found this a lot easier than sitting and a great way to get started talking to a lens!

So get up and give yourself room to be free!

πŸš«βœ‹Struggling to capture the attention of your target audience?

Did you know that πŸŽ₯ video marketing is one of the most effective ways to engage with your target audience?

According to recent studies, 80% of people are more likely to watch a video than to read text. 🀯

This statistic highlights the importance of incorporating video marketing into your business strategy. With so many consumers preferring to watch videos, it's crucial that you create video content to capture their attention.

Video marketing can be used for a variety of purposes, such as product demonstrations, customer testimonials, brand storytelling, and more. By creating engaging and informative videos, you can increase brand awareness, build trust with your audience, and ultimately drive sales.

So, if you haven't already, it's time to start investing in video marketing. Whether you're a small business or a large corporation, video content can help you reach your target audience in a meaningful way. Let's start creating some amazing video content together!

The team have now begun working on Karen Skidmore upcoming content.

After an amazing shoot with her I was massively impressed by her ability to bring her natural, authentic-self in front of the lens, to the lens, to her audience.

A skill that shouldn't be under estimated!

Looking forward to creating and refining this content before getting it out to her market place!

Why going viral is a bad strategy! πŸŽ₯βœ‹πŸš«

So going viral was often seen as the holy grail of marketing. Mass organic reach by repeated sharing and sounds awesome, so why wouldn't you want to go viral?

Going viral is a very difficult goal to achieve, and very very often the content that is entertainment or natural and has nothing to do with business or brand and wouldn't work to a business benefit.

The Internet is unpredictable, trends move quickly and its difficult to know what the masses will resonate to in that short window.

Now yes it has been done on a business level with some very clever ads, with specialist teams behind them.

Aiming for viral is a risky game, as nothing is guaranteed. It's wide but thin method which doesn't niche and doesn't attack your target market. This means that although exposure would be high, it doesn't guarantee conversions would be.

On the flip side, you could very easily attract the wrong sort of people too! This could mean you get tons of eyes on, you get a wealth of followers and subscribers of people who will never have any intention of buying from you.

The other reason I don't believe it's an effective strategy is because its simply not sustainable. Even if you managed to go viral once, what happens when you don't go viral the next time? Do you class that as a failed campaign? Are you now going to hold that viral content as the standard to compare everything against? It's an unfair variable in the rest of your marketing when analysing what's working and what isn't.

Also a risk you may not of considered, is the content being taken the wrong way, receiving backlash and negatively effecting your brand.

In conclusion I would say that going viral is a 'quick win' mentality which for the most part, is an ego driven objective, fuelled by vanity metrics or reach and views which aren't guaranteed to convert into any substance for your brand.

A much better, safer and more effective strategy would be to focus on creating consistent, quality content, aimed at helping your audience solve their problems, add a dash of patience and you'll be on the road to creating a strong foundation of value, increasing rapport, your brand's positioning in the market and your worth!

πŸŽ₯8 Key Essentials To Creating Converting Video ContentπŸŽ₯

Now there's of course many things to consider when coming up with your video structures and strategies, so I thought I'd cover some of the key aspects.

When structuring a video, think about the following:

1. The purpose of the video: What message do you want to convey?

2. The audience: Who are you trying to reach?

3. The key takeaways: What information do you want the viewer to remember?

4. The story: How can you make the video engaging and interesting or create an emotional connection?

5. The visuals: How can you use visuals to support the message and story?

6. The call to action: What do you want the viewer to do after watching the video?

7. The pacing: How can you make sure the video keeps the viewer's attention for the full video?

8. The sound: How can you use sound to enhance the video and support the message?

Remember, a well-structured video can effectively convey your message and engage your audience in just 60 seconds!

Boost your ROI!

Firstly how do you measure ROI? πŸ’΅ Obviously financial return is usually top of people's lost, but do you measure in other ways?

πŸ‘€ Brand awareness, visibility, credibility, increased reach, increased mailing lists, quality of leads, etc. Now admittedly some of these can be much harder to measure, which is why often people don't.

πŸŽ₯ Video is proven to increase engagement, generate leads, and drive conversions.

❀️ Use emotional storytelling to build a connection with your audience and turn them into loyal customers.

πŸ† Use value driven content to build trust as you help people identify and solve their problems.

I'll be the first to admit, video isn't a quick win and although on rare occasions it can, it won't blow up your business over night, it's noisy out there now and you need to break through that noise with your content. However despite what some may think, there's never been a better time to use video marketing in your business.

Video content is a game changer for businesses!

Not only does it grab the attention of potential customers, but it also allows you to connect with them on an emotional level.

Use video to tell your brand's story and showcase your unique value proposition to build rapport and convert viewers into clients.

We've all heard that "know, like and trust" is hugely important when it comes to growing your business. Well video is the best way to create this outside of face to face.

It's the best 1 to mass way of creating the know, like and trust factor and also works whilst you sleep!

Video has definitely solidified itself as a powerhouse tool within marketing and is only going to be used more and more.

If you haven't started utilising the power of video marketing yet, as the old adage goes, it's never too late.

It'll only benefit your business!

What is value?

I talk a lot about giving value first with your content, but what do I mean by value?

Value essentially is putting the viewer first. Giving them something they can take away from the content and will benefit them in their own life.

Can you educate them, can you solve their problems? Can you inspire them, help motivate them? Can you entertain them? All questions worth asking yourself about your content, does it do the above?

A direct sales piece is a much harder tactic these days, we're bombarded with sales and deals and offers constantly everyday. So much so, society has almost become immune to it.

We are skeptical and we can spot a sale coming. The second we do, we disconnect from the content, we disengage with the creator.

That's why 'value first' content can be so much more effective. It's a positioning tool that puts the viewer first.

I like to think of it as a subconscious sales tool.

So what does your content do for the viewer?

Are you tired of the same old boring marketing tactics? Are you ready to take your business to the next level in 2023?

Then it's time to start using video content! Not only is video more engaging and visually appealing than text or images, it's also a powerful way to connect with your audience on an emotional level.

With video, you can share your brand's story, values, and personality in a way that text or images simply can't match.

So why wait? Start incorporating video into your marketing strategy today and watch your business soar to new heights in the year ahead!

But don't just take my word for it - the numbers speak for themselves. Studies have shown that video content is more likely to be shared on social media platforms, leading to greater reach and exposure for your brand. It's also been proven to drive conversions, with viewers more likely to make a purchase after watching a product video. And let's not forget about the power of video for SEO - by including relevant keywords and captions, you can boost your website's/brands ranking on search engines and drive even more traffic to your business.

There's no reason not to start using video in your marketing efforts in 2023. So don't miss out - start creating impactful video content today!
